Roman Ondak’s works play with our perceptions of time and space, merging past, present and future. He subtly captures social and cultural behaviour, dreams, fantasies and ideas. Working within the parameters of conceptualism, his work involves the participation of others. He plays the role of instructor, giving a theme or idea for his work to the participants yet allowing their individual creativity to come through in the work presented. In Futuropolis (2006) Ondak invited his friends and relatives to draw their vision of a megalopolis of the future, resulting in one hundred drawings presented in a naïve, child-like style. Despite encompassing hope and fantasy for the future, the works rest upon the reality of the participant’s present social situation.
